Rent Nissan Altima 2022 in Dubai

Rent the Nissan Altima 2022 in Dubai and go over your kilometre allowance, and it costs AED 0.35 for every extra kilometre, one of the lowest overage rates on our whole fleet. That figure matters more than it looks on paper, because a longer road trip or an unplanned extra day doesn't turn into a bill you dread at drop-off. We deliver the car to your door within one to two hours of booking, and this Altima comes in black with a straightforward automatic gearbox, the kind of mid-size sedan that doesn't ask a first-time renter to learn anything new. The rest of this page looks at whether the car itself, not just the mileage math, fits your week.

Under the hood: the 2.5-litre four and the CVT

The Altima's 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four makes 188 hp and 244 Nm, driving the front wheels through Nissan's Xtronic CVT. There's no turbocharger to spool and no boost to wait for, just a steady, linear pull that the CVT smooths into one unbroken surge rather than distinct gear changes. Push the throttle hard and the transmission mimics a seven-step shift pattern, which keeps it from feeling rubbery the way older CVTs sometimes did.

On Sheikh Zayed Road it settles into a quiet, composed cruise, and ordinary overtaking asks nothing extra of it. Load it with four adults and their bags and try the same move up an on-ramp, and the engine works noticeably harder for the same result, since there's no turbo torque lower in the rev range to help it along. For the steady city and highway driving that fills most rental weeks, that difference rarely shows itself. This is a car tuned for smooth, predictable progress rather than quick throttle response.

Space in the back, and what fits in the boot

A 2,825 mm wheelbase puts real distance between the front and back seats, so two adults sit properly behind a tall driver with genuine knee room, and a third fits across for a shorter run. Four adults with actual luggage for a full day out is a booking this car handles cleanly, not one you have to plan around in advance.

The boot holds about 436 litres, in practice two large suitcases and a soft bag without repacking anything at the kerb, which covers a couple's DXB or DWC airport run without drama. Push it to three or four passengers with full cases each and the space gets worked harder, but it still beats anything in the compact class.

That length has to be parked somewhere. At close to 4.9 metres nose to tail, the Altima wants a full-size bay, and a tight multi-storey stack or a Marina ramp U-turn takes more care than a smaller car needs. Ground clearance sits around 130 mm, enough for ordinary speed bumps and mall ramps at a sensible pace, but this is a low sedan platform, not something to send down a rough unpaved track.

The 4,000 km mileage deal, fuel stops and beating the heat

Check the mileage line before anything else on this one, because it works differently from a lot of the fleet. Instead of a daily cap, you get 4,000 km to use across the whole rental, however long that runs. Book it for a week and you'd need to average over 570 km a day before you felt it, which basically never happens outside a serious road trip. Book it for a month and the same total works out closer to 133 km a day, still fine for errands and a commute, but worth checking against your actual route if you're driving daily. Go past the 4,000 km and extra kilometres cost AED 0.35 each, one of the cheapest overage rates we offer, so an unplanned extra day or a longer-than-planned run to Abu Dhabi won't turn into a big bill at handback. Salik tolls and any RTA fines picked up during the rental are the renter's responsibility, as they are across the fleet, and you'll need to be at least 23 to take the keys.

Nissan quotes around 13 km per litre in city driving and 16 on the highway, and the city figure is the honest one to plan a week of Dubai stop-start traffic around, especially with the AC working through the afternoon. The 61.3-litre tank stretches to somewhere around 700 to 800 km of mixed driving, so a normal week means one stop at the pump, maybe two.

A cabin this size takes a few minutes to recover after sitting in an open lot at 45 degrees, so give it time with the doors open before you climb back in rather than sealing yourself into a furnace. Once the system is running, the front vents cool it down fast and hold that temperature, and this class of sedan copes with a Dubai summer without asking much patience beyond that first stretch.

Who this car fits, and who should pick something else

Rent the Altima 2022 if the mileage math above actually matters to you: a longer trip, an unpredictable route, or simply not wanting to watch the odometer against a daily cap. It also suits four adults with real luggage, a business trip mixing highway driving with airport runs, or a family that wants a roomy back seat without an SUV's running cost.

Look elsewhere if you're driving alone or as a pair around the city most days and won't use the extra room or the generous mileage. A compact sedan is cheaper to rent and easier to park in a tight garage. And if you want a quicker, more urgent feel off the line, a turbocharged rival in this class will pull harder in the same traffic, since the Altima's naturally aspirated four trades urgency for a smooth, steady cruise. For anyone whose booking involves real distance, the 4,000 km allowance and the AED 0.35 overage rate make this one of the easier sedans in Dubai to book without doing the math first.
